MIAMI
The South Beach Marriott, a boutique beachfront hotel in the South of Fifth (SoFi) neighborhood of Miami Beach, is nearing completion on a six-month, $9 million redesign.
The renovation is intended to introduce a livable yet luxurious, residential feel, with high-quality finishes, all new hard and soft goods, and attention to the smallest details.
The design will utilize a color scheme that features a crisp palette of fresh whites complemented by soft neutral grays to evoke a luxurious and light atmosphere. Accents of orange and brown will bring warmth to the guest rooms and stylized, color-processed photographs reflect the feel of beachfront vistas. Modern amenities including integrated LED lights and large, flat screen televisions, balance out the design.
Bathrooms will be transformed to create a more expansive space. New glass showers will replace existing tubs and feature rainforest showerheads and handheld shower fixtures, while porcelain tile with a marbled pattern and narrow slivers of white marble tile will replace floor and wall coverings, respectively.
The Concierge Lounge will be reinvented with the addition of a buffet island centered among sky-blue banquettes and soft grey lounge chairs. Located on the 11th floor, its two spacious terraces with new high-top tables and plush outdoor couches, provide a place to lounge and enjoy the Miami Beach and cityscape views. The transformed lounge will also be offered as a new venue for groups to host meetings, weddings and other cocktail functions.
